About the piece
Painted in 1902 by Alexandre Jacques Chantron, this atmospheric work titled 'Dead Leaves' (Feuilles Mortes) uses a group of pale figures to mirror the surrounding autumn landscape. The dramatic lighting of the distant horizon creates a melancholic and reflective mood, typical of the Symbolist era's fascination with nature and mortality.
